Avatar CE (Collector's Edition) is a premium pinball game manufactured by Jersey Jack Pinball, released around 2024-2025 with an Avatar theme based on the Pandora universe. The game features a dark room aesthetic with illuminated toppers and complex multiball sequences centered on a 'Pandora' mode. Despite visually stunning design and high initial MSRP ($15,000), the game has faced criticism for software engagement issues, lack of interactive toys, and mechanical depth, with market prices dropping significantly ($12,000-$15,000 down to $12,000 OBO, representing a $3,000-$4,000 loss).
